2 P A G E 1 S U M M E R Chair s Column Saint Louis Section of IEEE Chair s Column, Summer 2016 Hello and happy summer! We ve had quite a busy spring that included a number of firsttime events for the St. Louis Section. In March, IEEE STL sponsored a Second Friday professional development seminar at the Engineering Center of St. Louis focused on topics related to energy efficiency. In May, we participated as co-sponsors of the SmartComp 2016 International Conference on Smart Computing in May and in June we hosted a visit by IEEE Legislative Representative Aline McNaull. Each of these programs was a first for our section and we are looking forward to continuing to expand our involvement in new and interesting programming for our membership. Another exciting development was the inauguration of our Facebook page, IEEE St. Louis Section, that we hope will serve as a more real-time source of information about the section. If you have a Facebook, please take the time to follow IEEE STL so that you can stay up to date. I d also like to take a moment to congratulate the following section members on their R5 Conference awards: Outstanding Engineering Educator Award R. Joe Stanley Outstanding Student Member Award Leann Krieger Circuit Design st Place - Li Guan and Matthew Wedewer, Missouri University of Science and Technology Standards st Place - Jei an Lou, Labbeb Quaisi, Mark Wisniewski; Saint Louis University, A Guide Highlighting Improvement for Future Power Systems

Stayed tuned for details via e-notice and on Facebook. One of the best parts of chairing the section is meeting our membership, and I look forward to meeting more of you in the coming weeks and months. Please don t hesitate to contact me directly with your ideas, questions, or concerns. And last but not least, a special thank you to our wonderful newsletter team for their invaluable assistance in publishing the ION Summer 2016 newsletter: Yeun Kim Claire Stonner Maura Wilson Sincerely, Yoelit Hiebert Chair, IEEE St. Louis Section
